who does majority household chores ?

Question

I’ve been having difficulty with my S/O seeing that we both need to do around the house & cook especially since we both pay bills& i don’t need to cook all the time just because I’m the woman. i noticed one day we won’t eat all day unless i figured something out. its a turn off

Answer

I do majority of it but I’m a SAHM so I’m the one technically “designated” to do majority of it as part of my job. My husband helps a lot when he’s home but he also works a lot to provide financially so of course he can’t do a bunch of work when he’s not here lol

Answer

Why not make a schedule? So maybe Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday he makes dinner and you help with dishes and the other days it’s your turn to cook and he does dishes. Make it even. With laundry, idk how you guys do do laundry, but if y’all did it weekly, you guys can can take turns every week.

Answer

We both work and pay bills but my husband rarely cooks unless he bbq’s. When I don’t cook we usually get carryout which is fine in my book. I usually do the cleaning because my kids are always messing up the house. Start a schedule or rotate the cooking schedule every week.

Answer

I work from home and originally was a stay at home mom. Therefore I do household chores and cooking. Before when we both had full time jobs we split chores. It was usually whoever got off work sooner that did whatever needed to be done. But I was raised from a family where the woman takes care of the home. I am content with it. I dont expect it to be this way and nor does my husband but if I am home and can fork out a few minutes to clean something....so be it, why not 🤷‍♀️ I like a clean place. And I also have a hard working husband that provides. He also wants me to tell him if I need help with something. Communicate if you are unhappy with things the way they are. My husband will let a trashcan overflow. The moment i say Hey babe can u take the trash out. He goes and does it. Some people need direction. They have other things on their minds.

Answer

Sometimes it has ended in an argument cause I feel like I do more.

Answer

My husband does most of the daily things and I do the tedious and tougher detailed once a week things. For example he does cat litter, brings my son to school, picks him up, does dishes, washes laundry, gives son bath most days, makes dinner some days, sweeps daily. I cook, pick out my sons clothes for school, make my sons lunch, fold laundry, feed & water cats, do my sons hair (he has long hair), do my sons homework with him, deep clean bathroom, deep clean kitchen, organize, mop. There are thing I hate doing that my husband does and stuff he hates doing that I do. We don’t necessarily try to quantify and make everything 50/50, we just do what we can. Everything doesn’t always get done and that’s okay.

Answer

I’m a sahm (I work but it’s very flexible and from home) and my husband works out of the home. He does the majority of the big cleaning. He does the dishes every evening, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms etc. I usually cook although he certainly can. For now, This is what works best for my family. That hasn’t always been the case and I’m sure it’ll change again! But what is most important is communication between all parties and figuring out what will work best. Maybe that’s a schedule. Maybe that’s delegating tasks. Maybe it’s something else

Answer

I'm a stay at home mom but he comes home from work and cleans / doesn't complain he knows how hard it is taking care of 3 little ones he was home for a week and delt with it and opened his eyes even more but even before that he helped he just helps more now plus expecting our 4th I do the cooking though just because I'm very picky about how things get made and if it's something not to hard the 2 older ones help cook

Answer

For cleaning he does kitchen and bathroom while i do the vacuuming, picking up, decluttering, etc. It just naturally fell into place like that but if im honest he does a lot more cleaning and i do slightly more cooking
For cooking before baby it was mainly me bc i cook more variety and am a bit more selective on what im in the mood to eat... but now post baby i prioritize rest vs what the meal is so we decided to alternate weeks. He comes up with the meal plan as cooks majority of the meals one week, and i do the same the next week.
We both work full time so it works nicely for us to share that load.

Answer

If both partners work all household chores should be done 50/50.
